Social Emotional Read Alouds

My students need read-aloud books to help learn about self-regulation and other social emotional skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lewis's classroom raised $279

This project is fully funded

My Students

My kindergarten students are full of life! They love to learn new things everyday. Living in a large city, school budgets are tight, and it is difficult for families to provide all the materials that students need in order to learn and grow each day. My students want to do their best and have the same opportunities as other students. They are full of life and always like to try new things. My students love projects and are very creative!

My Project

These specific books will help my kindergartner kids learn about social emotional topics. Books are a great way to connect children with the topic. Students can easily relate and can see how a character solved a problem, shared with a friend, or learned how to believe in themselves.

These books, which align with our curriculum, will help the youngest students learn about their emotions, how to get along with others, and why it's okay to be angry or sad sometimes.

There are so many things to learn about in kindergarten, but some of the most important lessons, like how to share and be kind, are what will help my students be successful in life!
